im fine (Remastered)
Classic British trip-hop, dub reggae influence. Shuffling hip-hop drum loop, deep dub bassline, scratching vinyl sound effects. Soulful male spoken word vocals mixed with ethereal female backing vocals. Melancholic but groovy. Lo-fi texture, warm piano chords, sampled orchestral hits. Tags: Soul, Dub, Hip-Hop, Groove, Lo-fi, Bristol Sound, Spoken Word

Lyrics
**I’M FINE**
Verse 1
I wear a smile like a blade in disguise,
Cutting deep while I’m feeding the lies.
You ask how I’ve been — I say I’m fine,
But my pulse keeps skipping, out of time.
Every thought’s a scream I hide,
Swallowed by the noise inside.
I built this cage and lost the key,
Now I’m trapped with what’s left of me.
Chorus
I’m fine — can’t you tell by the way I break?
Laughing while my hands still shake.
I’m fine — yeah, I’m barely alive,
Drowning slow just to survive.
Verse 2
I paint my pain with a silver grin,
It looks like peace but it burns within.
My body’s numb but my mind still bleeds,
Growing thorns from all my needs.
Every mirror turns to glass,
Every dream I had won’t last.
I keep pretending I’m okay,
While my world just rots away.
Chorus
I’m fine — can’t you tell by the way I break?
Laughing while my hands still shake.
I’m fine — yeah, I’m barely alive,
Drowning slow just to survive.
Bridge
(whispered)
It’s not okay — it never was,
I fake the calm, ignore the cause.
Each breath a war, each smile a crime,
You’ll never know — I’m fine.
Final Chorus
I’m fine — can’t you tell by the way I break?
Laughing while my soul’s at stake.
I’m fine — yeah, I’m losing my mind,
Screaming out where no one can find.
Outro
(softly)
I’m fine…
I’m fine…
I swear… I’m fine.
